Story:
Captured in the heart of the Jalapão region, this panoramic nightscape reveals the raw beauty of Brazil’s Cerrado under a pristine Bortle 1 sky. Dominating the scene is the luminous arch of the Milky Way, stretching from one horizon to the other, its core glowing with interstellar dust, emission nebulae, and countless stars. The reddish tones near the galactic center are enhanced by the use of a modified sensor, revealing prominent H-alpha regions like the Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae.
To the right, a striking column of Zodiacal Light rises—sunlight scattered by interplanetary dust—perfectly aligned with the ecliptic. Subtle green and red hues of airglow add a surreal touch to the lower sky, interacting with the warm tones of the dunes and the reflecting waters of the meandering stream. Buriti palms and native vegetation complete the composition, grounding this celestial spectacle in the unique landscape of the Brazilian savanna.
This image is not a blend but a multi-frame panorama, precisely captured to preserve the spatial relationships of both the terrestrial and astronomical elements. A technical and artistic tribute to one of the darkest skies in South America.

There, users introduce photographers' photos and styles from a unique perspective. I want to know myself deeply. In addition to dialogue with oneself, the perspectives of others are also essential for self-understanding. In that sense, there is nothing more appropriate than "Testimonials." If you would take your precious time to tell me about me, I would like to say "Thank you!" from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you everyone.
HomilytheFifthSundayofLent032623
This is the fifth week of Lent. Our Gospel reading is a the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. It is a drama happening in the context of a global drama-the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. These two events are intimately linked to each other. Both dramas show us how God moves within Salvation history that is on behalf of all humanity and then how Jesus works within the drama and detail of each and every life. Love for us, is God’s purpose and is reflected in both events.
We have the benefit of witnessing the unfolding of these two events and there importance to us collectively and individually-especially during Lent. We must not forget how fortunate we are to be on this side of the resurrection, because we have the complete picture, there are no surprises accept the ones we experience in the details of our own lives.
Our church provides us a way of entering into these events through her liturgies, liturgical seasons and sacramental rites. In this way, Jesus Christ is present to us in a multiple of ways. However, we can also let the glittery world distract us, and pull our attention from the “one thing that matters” our relationship with Christ. For it is in the intimacy of this relationship that we can experience Him in the details of our own lives, as he was present for Lazarus, Mary and Martha in our Gospel story.
How was Jesus present to them? Let us begin with “and Jesus wept.” For whom is Jesus shedding tears? The simple answer is for his friends. In these few words, we can be sure, that just as Jesus is moved by Martha and Mary in their grief and sorrow at the loss of their brother, so our Jesus is present to us. In the mundane, the joyful and the sorrowful details of our life…the presence of Christ can be felt if we have a place for Him.
How was Jesus there for Lazarus? From our Gospel reading, it was apparent that Jesus knew that Lazarus was sick, and it appears that he was slow to respond. For a greater purpose that only Jesus knew, he was going to raise him from the dead, as a foreshadowing of his own death.
When Jesus appeared before Lazarus, he asked that the stone be rolled away and then said
“Lazarus, come out!” What did Lazarus hear in this command? Artist and theologian Makoto Fujimura in his book Art and Faith say’s it quite beautifully:
“What Lazarus heard was not the voice of a mere mortal trying to speak of love and hope. What called Lazarus was the voice of a Son of God himself who spoke from beyond the veil into eternity, into the Father’s presence. What Lazarus heard was the voice of true hope and true love. What Lazarus heard was nothing short of the voice of Creation.” (end quote)
Once again, Lazarus, Martha and Mary are together again and Jesus is in the center. Their individual drama is completed and Jesus passion is just beginning. Soon after raising Lazarus,
The Sanhedrin met, and decided that they were going to kill Jesus.
So, we see, the unfolding of the Lazarus event, within the larger event we call the passion. As it was for Lazarus, Martha and Mary, Jesus works within the details of our lives and collectively we are the body of Christ moving forward in time. What harm can the world do to us, nothing…because we are a resurrection people.
In the detail of our lives, Jesus is present to us, even when we do not realize it. Blessed are we, if we are aware of his presence. Knowing that HE is with us in our ups and downs, giving us the peace and comfort that the world can never provide. What is even more profound is when we see HIM in others that crowd around us in our times of loss, despair, joy and celebration. In a mysterious way, our journey through this valley of life uniquely contributes to the bigger picture of our salvation history and building up the Kingdom of God on earth. The season of Lent, amplifies this walk with Jesus. We are given the opportunity to walk with Him…to be with him…to comfort HIM…to weep with HIM and to be his friend.

In Mathematics, if two lines are PARALLEL, they do not meet each other, or do NOT TOUCH each other.
If we defined "ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP" as "touching someone's heart," then there wasn't such a relationship when a couple's hearts were not touching. So, can we say "the relationship is parallel?"
If it is so, this image represents a COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP with THREE people.
A relationship made in heaven....

These small Orchids I don’t know the name of, have ants on a couple buds here. Those ants are crucial to flowering these beauty’s. Ants are eating the film off the bulb.

Happy Sunday my friends!
Lighting info - One SB-800 flash triggered by Nikon CLS - inside the ball ( $1 thing from a 2nd hand store).
Exposure: 1/250th
Aperture: f/19
Focal Length: 18 mm
Lens: Nikon 18-70mm
Camera: Nikon D200
Post Processing: Only cropping of the image as there was a bit too much black space on her side.
How did I get the angle? One foot on a ladder - the other on the opposite wall - thankful to my sense of balance from my rock climbing days.
*Since a few people have asked - the ball is from a lighting fixture - they're readily available here in Australia from second hand stores (on the shelf at the place I got this from, there were about 30 of them - all varying sizes). It is made of glass - so is somewhat fragile - has a hole and flattened base on one side - I put the flash inside the hole and sit the flat part on the bed.
My good friend Tully and his girlfriend Leah - she's an exchange student from Germany - and was leaving to go back to Germany a few days after this photo was taken. So I said I'd come and take some photos of them together before they had to be apart for many months.
Tully is an up and coming solo guitarist/singer - the same person in these 3 shots:

They're both 18 - yet their love for eachother is beautiful, like that of an old married couple, blissfully content for 60 years.
Being only 20 years old, I'm very new at the photography scene - having only shot for the past year or so.
My kindest regards and sincere thanks go out to all of you who have commented or added this photo to their favourites. It really does mean a lot to me and helps me to grow and improve as a photographer.
If this photo has attracted your attention or put a smile on your face - please have a look through my photo stream and offer any feedback you can, positive or negative - as I'm open to the wisdom and views of those with more experience than myself.
Flickr is an amazing place - never before has it been so easy to share so much creativeness and learn from eachother.
Salvation involves a change in the relationship between God and a person. Salvation includes God’s adoption of believers into his family, his acceptance of them as righteous and his forgiveness of their sins. It also includes personal renewal and transformation through the work of the Holy Spirit.
19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

The British Prime Minister, Theresa May, otherwise known as 'Trump's Maggie' met with President Trump on Friday in the Oval Office. Their Special relationship status was denoted by the table prepared with a single red rose from the ever charming President Trump. Soon it was time to exchange gifts.
Thankfully Theresa (or Tessie FooFoo as Trump likes to call her) arrived prepared with her gift - a Quaich, a Scottish silver drinking dish that is a symbol of friendship and trust.
In return, Trump gave her a nice shiney black rifle to protect herself from all the immigrants entering Europe. What a gent!
